There are very few TV programmes that I’ll make time to watch specifically when they’re broadcast (come back 24, all is forgiven!) but “The Apprentice” is a major exception, even as it becomes more and more of a contest to find the candidate most willing to humiliate themselves for Darth Sugar’s approval. In particular, the [...]

On Sunday 4th April we were lucky enough to sponsor the EPL match between the Manchester Phoenix and Peterborough Phantoms.
This was actually the second leg of a 2 game play off which was finely poised 3 v 3 from the evening before and what a leg it was!
We took 30 clients, advisers and friends [...]

As most people who know us will agree, the Psycuity team don’t do events by half and tonight was no exception as we took a group of friends and clients to the AC/DC Black Ice Concert at the MEN.
There were a few things that caught my attention this evening. Firstly it’s very hard not to be blown [...]

Here’s the live video feed from the first Ignite North UK held at the Old Broadcasting House in Leeds. It captures all the presentations. If you’re interested I appear after 2′15″. It was great fun and some fantastic presentations – the format is pretty unrelenting – 20 slides in 5 minutes and no deviation. Big thanks to [...]

Just a quick blog post to say hi all the guys we met down at the Liverpool Barcamp 2008. A few familiar faces and a whole load of new ones! For those who don’t know, bar camp events are for fellow geeks to really geek out about subjects they find interesting. The events are a [...]

On Monday night I popped along to the opening celebration of Manchester’s newest boutique hotel, the Yang Sing Oriental. If you are looking for something different then this is the place to stay, with individually themed and scented rooms.
Gerry Yeung’s vision to turn a dilapidated Victorian warehouse into an exclusive venue is a testament to [...]

Psycuity, one of the Northwest’s most interesting start ups today declared war on the global gases giant Air Products.
Whilst there was plenty of marching and a good proportion of time spent in the bunkers, “war” would be seen to many as a slight over exageration. However, to Psycuity MD, Philip Hemsted and Air Product’s, UK Major Accounts [...]
